Feature:
It has the 5 position switch, which gives you tones of tone.

Quality:
No problems at all with this guitar. Rock solid.

Value:
For the $600+ I paid for it...it's a steal.

Desirability:
It's surf green...it sounds great...and that maple neck is fabulous...very shagadelic, baby...yeah.

Sound:
It's a Strat...and though it's a MIM, I'd put it up against any American Strat out there. Awesome guitar.

Ease of Use:
I love a maple neck. I'm going to buy a '52 Tele reissue because it's a Tele, and it has the maple neck. So slick...so fast.

Support:
Haven't had to use them. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as I've heard great things about Fender.

Overall:
Great guitar, especially for the price. Can't see myself being without a great Strat in the arsenal, and this one fits the bill. Mine doesn't have the whammy bar...but who cares really? No biggie.

Feature:
It has everything you need. The only down side on this guitar is i'd like more than 21 frets but oh well if its this good i dont really care

Quality:
Its built like a rock mines taken a couple spills from traveling and it hasnt put a scratch on it. The pickups are amazing. The aged parts look cool too.

Value:
THIS IS THE BEST GUITAR FOR UNDER $1000 bucks. In my opinion it can only be beat by an american strat

Desirability:
It looks awesome the finish is impeccable. The aged parts look great too.

Sound:
good sound for classic rock and blues. It is also a pretty good metal guitar. The most versitile guitar ive ever played.

Ease of Use:
The fretboard is like butter the BEST fretboard.

Support:
It has a lifetime warranty but ive never had the slightest problem with it.

Overall:
Its all i need everything else seems dull in comparison

It came with a gig bag and wammy bar

Quality:
Very good quality.

Value:
Best guitar for the money.

Desirability:
The surf geen color is great. The neck and hardware looking aged is so cool and sexy.

Sound:
This guitar melts in my hands.The only upgrade I did is replace the bridge pickup. I put a hot rail pickup in it. Now its like a old hotrod with whitewall tires with a big block hemi.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to get any great tone.

Support:
No

Overall:
This guitar not going anywhere. I'll never sell it.I have lots of guitars and this one like no other.

Feature:
I WOULD'NT CHANGE ANY FEATURES OR ADD ANYTHING TO THIS GUITAR

Quality:
MOST THESE MODALS I FOUND TO BE MADE WELL SOME MEX. MODELS ARE BETTER THAN THE U.S. MODELS, THEY LAST AND THAT IS GOOD MY 57 STILL LOOKS NEW (WELL FADED A BIT)BUT STILL RELIABLE I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL PICKPS IN MY 57 AS A MATTER OF FACT I CAN ONLY REMEMBER REPLACING THE TONE POTS.

Value:
YES

Desirability:
I DON'T LUST FOR A GUITAR OR FEEL IN ANY WAY THAT IT'S SEXY BUT IF IT.S THE RIGHT COLOR IT CAN TURN YOU ON

Sound:
LEAVE IT AS IT IS IT HAS THE SOUND THAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO HAVE YOU WILL ONLY GET BETTER IF YOU HAVE THE REAL THING WHICH I HAVE. A 1957 LAKE PLACID BLUE L/SERIES AND IT STILL SOUNDS GREAT.THE GUITAR IS ALMOST AS OLD AS ME BUT STILL HAS IT'S GREAT LOOKS. THE REISSUE SERIES ARE WELL MADE GUITARS THAT YOU CAN BUY WITH CONFERDANCE

Support:
I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF MY FENDER GUITARS OVER THE YEARS BECAUSE I ALWAYS BUY THE BEST MODELS MAYBE THE ODD ONE HARD TO TUNE RIGHT BUT THATS ALL. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE CHEAP JAPAN/CHINA /AND KORIAN FENDERS AND HAVE TROUBLE WITH PARTS BREAKING DOWN .

Overall:
UNTIL I PASS ON. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HAPPY WITH MY GUITARS I TRYED THEM ALL BUT ALWAYS CAME BACK TO IN MY MIND THE BEST GUITAR EVER MADE
